♥ Hokey Pokey (HoneyComb) ♥

This is amazing to crumble into best vanilla ice-cream or wonderfully eaten straight away. The pixie gold dust will also be perfect present to take to a dinner party.

You'll need:

1/2 cup sugar

4 tablespoons golden syrup

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

How to make honeycomb:

Sift the baking soda.
Put the sugar and golden syrup into a saucepan and stir together to mix. You can't stir once the pan is on the heat though.
Place the pan on medium heat. Heat until it turns goo and then bubbling mass the colour of maple syrup, this will take 6 to 8 minutes.
Off the heat, whisk in the baking soda and watch the syrup turn into a whooshing cloud of aerated pale gold. Turn this immediately onto a piece of baking parchment or greased foil.
Leave until set and then bash at it, so that it splinters into many glinting pieces.
